This has been an extraordinarily difficult decision, but I have decided to withdraw from consideration from this position and remain at the Cleveland Clinic, due to the commitment I have made to the organization, our patients and the work that still needs to be done here," Cosgrove said in the statement.

Cosgrove, 73, has been at the Clinic since 1975 and has been CEO since 2004. He has helped it become one of the world's leading academic medical centers and has emerged as a leading voice on national health care policy matters

Not to worry...Osama Obama will find some graduate of the Peruvian National Medical School to take the post.

Sebelius, perfect choice and I’m shocked he hasn’t already nominated her.

Wise man. Who would want to fix that mess and have Obama for a boss?

IRS audit for you then.

I’ll take on the job as long as I have the authority to FIRE CIVIL SERVICE EMPLOYEES!!!!!1

Without that tool, the problem can NOT be solved!

Thank goodness. Dr Cosgrove is awesome and belongs at the Clinic.
